STAR ROUTE VICTORY.

of Claims.
The case of William NJ. Griffith against
the United States growing cut Of star
route contract was de- lied yesterday in
the court Of claims against the govern
ment. TIE suit was, by the contract, for a
balance due of $4,000. The government
resisted this claim and in counter claims
filed cross action for 500, 900, alleging
that the route was improperly expedited
and that Its increase Of pay under the con-
tract was fraudulently procured. The
court held that the Postofiice Department
was the final Judge Of the propriety Of in
creasing the pay on a given mail route;
that the department had under its contract
ample machinery for gathering information
upon which to act In granting the increase,
and that the courts have no Jurisdiction to
revise the finding Of facts Of such depart.
ment. The opinion is a very exhaustive
and able one, and was read by Judge Davis.
The claim was prosecuted and recovery
secured for $4,000 by Mr.. JEFF Chandler,

Upon the Stock.
A decision was rendered by the United
States Supreme Court yesterday in the i'm
portant bank tax case entitled the Mercan-
tile National bank Of the city OF New York
against the mayor, aldermen, and common
atty Of the city Of New York, and George
W. Mclean, receiver of taxes. This is one
Of the thiTty.hve suits brought by the
national banks Of the city Of New York
against the municipal authorities Of that
city to restrain the collection OF taxes
assessed upon the shares of stock OF said
banks. The question raised by the case is
whether or not the system OF laws enforced
in the state of New York is 10 opposition
to section 5219 OF the Revised Statutes Of
the United States, which requires that the
taxation Of shares Of national banks "shal
not be at a greater rate than is assessed
upon other moneyed capital In the hands of
individual citizens OF said state" This
court answers that question In the negative
and afiirms the decree Of the court below In
favor Of the state.
About $3.50, 100000 is involved in this
decision.
